Chapter 192: 'Extra' Brain Malfunction
Chapter 192
Bai Heng couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them and knocked on Sui Yan's door on his own.
After a few seconds, the door was opened from the inside, and a white wolf walked out with a steady stride.
Bai Heng glanced at Zhu Yue and the others, "This wolf is the kid's pet, you guys be careful not to hurt it."
When Zhu Yue saw Ti Zi for the first time, she silently stepped back, and upon hearing this, she mustered up her courage and growled, "Who needs to be careful here! Doesn't it seem like this wolf is more likely to harm us?" 𝖋𝖗𝖊𝖊𝔴𝖊𝖇𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Ti Zi gave Zhu Yue a cold look, and she instantly shut her mouth and became as quiet as a chicken.
Bai Heng pulled at the corner of his mouth, pushed open Sui Yan's door, and walked in.
The little girl was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly and innocently.
He gently shook Sui Yan, "Yan, time to get up."
Sui Yan buried herself deeper into the blanket, "Don't want to."
Bai Heng was a bit helpless, "People from the research institute have come."
The little girl stayed in the blanket for a few more seconds before finally getting up reluctantly, "Okay then."
Bai Heng helped Sui Yan sit up, then consciously went out.
Sui Yan didn't make them wait long either, quickly limping out.
When Zhu Yue heard the sound, she looked towards the door expectantly, but when she actually saw Sui Yan, she froze.
Sui Yan leaned against the doorframe, and seeing everyone staring at her blankly, she unconsciously touched her own face and asked weakly, "Wh-What's wrong?"
Zhu Yue's expression turned a bit serious, "Little girl, what happened to your leg?"
Sui Yan blinked and looked towards Bai Heng.
Bai Heng seemed a bit regretful, "I forgot to tell you guys, let's go downstairs first, we'll talk about it there."
He helped Sui Yan go downstairs, with Ti Zi following slowly behind them.
Zhu Yue and the other three frowned at each other worriedly before following them.
The military doctor was cooking in the kitchen and called out when he heard footsteps, "Bai Heng! Is Yan up?"
Bai Heng helped Sui Yan sit on the sofa before going to the kitchen to reply, "What did you prepare for Yan's breakfast?"
The military doctor pointed to the side, "Seafood congee."
Bai Heng nodded in satisfaction and brought the seafood congee out directly.
Sui Yan sat on the sofa, frowning at her feet.
Zhu Yue sat across from her and asked carefully, "Kid, what happened to your leg?"
Sui Yan blinked, "This? Got hit by a car."
Zhu Yue gasped in shock and said reassuringly, "It's okay, once your leg heals, we'll go to the Capital together. You're so adorable, everyone will love you."
Sui Yan was silent for a moment before saying, "It won't heal."
Zhu Yue was a bit confused, "Huh?"
By this time, Bai Heng had brought the congee over, "Yan, time for breakfast. If it's not good, we'll beat up the military doctor."
Sui Yan smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Okay!"
The military doctor, who had walked out a few steps behind, had a deadpan expression, "Kid, you're learning bad things from Bai Heng."
Sui Yan was familiar with the two of them now and could comfortably joke a little. She immediately snitched, "Bai Heng, he said you!"
Bai Heng rolled up his sleeves and glanced indifferently at the military doctor, "You got a problem?"
The military doctor, "...No problem."
Zhu Yue raised her hand, "Um, let me ask! How long will it take for the little girl's leg to heal? Do you need any medicine? We brought some with us."
Bai Heng served Sui Yan congee without looking up, "The military doctor knows."
The military doctor couldn't help but sigh when he thought about the current situation. He pulled Zhu Yue and the others aside to talk in the side hall.
Liu Bing Rong glanced outside, "Why did you bring us here?"
The military doctor seemed a bit troubled, "Don't mention her leg in front of Yan."
Zheng Xu suddenly seemed to realize something, "Don't tell me her leg won't heal?"
Zhu Yue was shocked, her face turning pale, "Can't be, right?"
The military doctor silently nodded. After a long while, he finally said, "Yeah, the injury was too severe, she'll have lasting effects. In the future, there will be after-effects."
Zhu Yue couldn't help but glance outside again, "This...what exactly happened? She said she was hit by a car."
The military doctor's expression also wasn't very good, "Yes, a truck. When Bai Heng brought her home, she had a lot of injuries all over her body. She still hasn't fully recovered, which is why we haven't gone back to the Capital yet."
Liu Bing Rong's expression darkened, "What about the driver who hit her?"
The military doctor shrugged, "Bai Heng has gone to deal with it, but it seems like this was premeditated. We're still not sure about the details."
Zheng Xu frowned, "Then when will this kid be able to go to the Capital? It's not safe enough here."
The military doctor seemed even more troubled, "There's no choice. This kid can't communicate well with too many strangers. Even with me and Bai Heng, it took her a long time to be able to interact with us like she does now."
Zhu Yue could kind of understand now, as the military doctor continued, "Don't think that just because she can talk normally with you guys now, she's not afraid inside."
Zhu Yue felt heartbroken just from hearing it, "This poor little thing is just too pitiful. It's okay, we'll stay here for a few more days. Let us know if you need any medicine."
In the living room
Sui Yan obediently drank her congee with her head down, while Bai Heng was on his phone trying to get himself a few more days off.
Zhu Yue and the other four walked over with cautious steps, each of them looking at Sui Yan with a kind and sympathetic gaze.
Sui Yan quickly finished her congee and then hid behind Bai Heng. She whispered, "Bai Heng, why are they looking at me with those eyes?"
It's creepy.
Bai Heng raised an eyebrow, looked up, and quickly understood what was going on.
He patted Sui Yan's head, "It's nothing, they're just a little messed up in the head, don't mind them."
At first, Sui Yan was a bit doubtful about this statement, but as Zhu Yue and the others' gazes became more and more intense, she gradually became fully convinced.
Such a pity for them to have gone crazy at such a young age.
So Zhu Yue and the other three found that a certain little girl kept looking at them with sympathetic eyes.
The military doctor, who had learned about what happened, suppressed a laugh and said, "Yan, how are the injuries on your body lately? If you need to change dressings, you can just ask this auntie to help you."
Zhu Yue looked perplexed, "What auntie? I'm a sister!"
The military doctor was very sincere, "You're more than twenty years older than Yan. Would you feel comfortable if she called you sister?"
Zhu Yue, "...Don't come to our research institute for medicine again in the future."
The military doctor is not afraid, after all, Sui Yan will eventually join the research institute, and he will have an insider in the institute!
As Sui Yan was about to retort to Zhu Yue, he gently tugged at his clothes from behind: "Don't do this!"
The little girl looked at Zhu Yue earnestly: "Sister is very beautiful."
Zhu Yue looked proud: "See, even the little one has good taste."
Bai Heng mercilessly deflated her: "Don't be so sure, she probably just thinks you're a fool and is consoling you."
Sui Yan and Zhu Yue: "..."
This person is a bit too much.
